The Ontario Liberal leadership contender provides moderate conservatives with a pragmatic, and arguably more conservative, alternative to the status quo.
I mean no disrespect to the author, and no malice intended toward his article.
I enjoyed the read, and I recommend others take a look.
I do, however, take exception to the use of his terms “normal” conservative and “moderate” conservative. I take exception not because I am somehow offended, but because I have no idea of whom he speaks.
The author’s thrust seems to be our left-of-centre Premier has failed to advance the cause of conservatism after years of Liberal Party dominance -and the destructive policies that occurred as a result- and that we should rectify this by voting for another Liberal Party candidate who apparently occupies some nebulous, undefined centre of the political spectrum.
Kathleen Wynne was not only the worst Premier in the history of Ontario; she was the worst Premier in the history of our Country.
I agree that Doug Ford is a basket of goods that were different from those advertised; but to suggest that a neophyte with a porn star moustache could somehow rectify the problems that face this Province, while heading a FarLeft political party is incredulous.
I’ve reliably voted PC in every Ontario election for the last few decades. Except, that is, for 2023 when I didn’t vote, deciding I had nobody worth voting for given the Ford government’s horrible mismanagement and lack of principles. Ontario Liberals, please, please, please give Ontario voters a conservative option next election by choosing Eric Lombardi. Choosing a Liberal squish like Navdeep Bains will only serve to guarantee four more years of Doug Ford. One not so small problem for Lombardi is that he must be seen to be leading a party that has crossed the Rubicon on the failed policies that put Ontario Liberals in the political wilderness after Kathleen Wynne’s disastrous tenure. No easy task.

My only critique of your criticism is in fact NDP Bob Rae was the WORST Premier we have ever had in Canada.
Carry on.

I like this: "Coalition politics aren’t easy, but, given the failing state of the status quo in Ontario, some outside-the-box thinking is in order."
What’s Caroline Mulroney up to these days….? *wink*
